Revising Characters – Ooops…I Had Her All Wrong

A Blinding Epiphany

Lightning struck last week with my most important non-MC character, Mera.

I had put her through a lot of bad things.

For instance?

Things like her murdered father dying in her arms, fleeing through a city convulsed in riots with a guy she only just met, a kidnapping and escaped a fate worse than death by a last second rescue. After that, the MC tried to force her into a role in his grand plan…without asking. And…she’s struggling to keep her feelings to herself because she and the MC grew up in different religions.
